LCDR Schmorrow is serving in the Information Processing Technology Office at DARPA as a Program Manager. In this role, he manages the Augmented Cognition (AugCog) Program, the Control of Agent Based Systems (CoABS) Program and four cognitive systems exploratory efforts. AugCog is developing and demonstrating novel brain-machine-symbiosis technologies to augment human cognition and performance. CoABS has developed and is demonstrating techniques to safely control, coordinate and manage large systems of autonomous software agents. Additionally, he serves as a Program Officer at the Office of Naval Research and manages Science and Technology programs in the Human Systems Department. The two principle programs he manages at ONR are the Virtual Environments and Technologies (VIRTE) Program and the Distributed Simulation for Warfighting Concepts (WARCON) Program. VIRTE is developing and demonstrating leap-ahead human-immersive technology for naval training and will provide realistic combat simulators for a variety of missions as a supplement and complement to live training. WARCON is employing distributed modeling and simulation, design engineering, and operations analysis to examine the relationship between warfighting concepts and the design of future weapon systems. Additional responsibilities include advising the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office on the development of modeling and simulation policy, initiatives and guidance that promotes cooperation among DoD components and maximize efficiency and effectiveness of technology investments. Additional areas of expertise include human-factors, training, safety, decision support and biomedicine.�
LCDR Schmorrow received a
commission in the U.S. Navy in 1993 and completed naval flight training and
earned his Naval Aerospace Experimental Psychology wings in April of 1994. He
initially served at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division,
